Asbestos removal in Totford
About our asbestos removal in Totford
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. From loft water tanks and asbestos garages, we deal with textured coatings, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In places like Totford, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.

Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
The scope of asbestos removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal

Questions from Totford
Do you cover small places like Totford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Micheldever station?
Yes, we cover Totford and the area towards Micheldever station, about 4.5 miles north-west.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you cover Totford?
We do: Totford is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
